Summary: It's an ok game but it could be better
Review: When i first got the game I thought it would be a lot of fun.
When I played it for a week it was still fun,then it started to get boring.I tried things like lowering the starting supply of money,using endangered animals,and freeing the animals.But it still was boring. So it's really up to you if you want to buy it
i'm not here to judge you and tell you what to do. :)

Summary: Be careful, it's addicting...
Review: This is an excellent program. Combining the first three releases, Zoo Tycoon, Dinosaur Digs, and Marine Mania, the Complete Collection has created a program that amazes me every day. My [young]son is completely hooked. Not that this program is designed for a 5 year old - you must pay attention to so many details (believe me the designers at Microsoft certainly seem to have!) - even Santa has been included! My son has learned so much about the habitats of his favorite animals, and when he goes to bed, I get to continue my zoo, which is located...on the moon! Great program, wonderful details. Highly recommended!

Summary: Totally Worth Every Penny!!!
Review: I had been a fan of other simulation games and worked as an intern in a real zoo, so when Zoo Tycoon came out I knew I had to have it. I put off buying it and then came Dino Digs and Marine Mania. I wanted them all but didn't want to pay for each one seperately. I am now glad I was soooo cheap. Not only have they combined Zoo Tycoon with all of its expansion packs but they have added bonus materials. This is the ultimate combo pack of simulation games. I whole heartily recommend this to any simulation game fan.

Summary: A very addictive game
Review: In this game, you start out with a park of your choice and up ot 500,000 dollars. You also start out with a few animals, but with research and building good exibits, you can unlock more animals and options.
You have to make many choices to make your guests and animals happy such as:
~ keeping the animals fed, watered, and clean in an appropriate habitat
~ keeping the guests pleased with food, bathrooms, benches, tables and happy animals
~ making decisions on ticket prices (and show prices)
~ making plans for purchasing animals and hiring workers
~ managing the buildings and grounds
~ identify marketing, advertising, merchandising plans
~ ect.If you don't have a good exibit for your animal and/or your animal is unhappy, you sometimes can't buy any more animals until you make that animal(s) happy again or sell them.
Some of the dinosaurs test the fences in their enclosure, so make sure that you have a dino-recovery team waiting incase one escapes. (I have even had a dino escape from an electrified fence, so good luck if you think you will keep the t-rex in his exibit.) The recovery helicopter will tranquilize the animal and you can put it back into the exibit.
If you an escaped carnivore back into it's exibit, it will start eating other animals and/or the visiters in your park!
If you make a show tank, you can build tanks touching it with dolphins, orcas or other show animals and build grandstands for people to watch and you have a show business Maintenance workers help you by getting rid of trash and fixing cages. Scientists and Zoo Keepers feed and take care of the Dinos and land animals.
In this set, you can have animals ranging from penguins, lions and giraffes to t-rexes, stegasaurouses, and ankylosaurous to dolphins, orcas and sharks.
You can try to build the best park in a theme such as african or prehistoric or aquatic, or you can just mix them all together to make one awesome park!

Summary: My Favorite Game On My Computer
Review: This is still my favorite game to play ater owning it for almost half a year. Yet, there are stil pros and cons to this game that I wish I would have known before I bought this game, here are most of them:
Pros:
-The increasing number of animals and scenerios will keep you interested for a long time.
-The trees and other things will keep you trying new things to make your zoo look beautiful.
-(If you're like me)You will have a blast setting lions and bears loose in your zoo and watching them attack the guests.
-You can choose two different ways to play; open ended where your imagination is the limit for your zoo, or scenerio where if will give you goals and you will have to reach them, yet even on scenerio, if you do not reach your goal, you have the option to play open ended.
Cons:
-Without the expansion packs, the regular animals will become a bore after about 2 weeks
-A lot like rollercoaster tycoon I did buy both of the expansion packs, but I got Dinosaur Digs included with my Marine Mania, and the price of Marine Mania was really small considering how often my CD is used between me and my friend. The only thing I want you to keep in mind when buying this is that nothing is as great as it sounds, although this game comes close. :)

Summary: A good concept, but poorly implemented
Review: At first, I thought Zoo Tycoon seemed like a good concept. Designing and running a zoo seems like an enjoyable, brilliant concept for a game. The game allows users to design a zoo, including laying out and designing animal exhibits, laying out sidewalks, and placing food stands and special exhibits. The game's graphics and sounds are fairly good for a management simulation, and the game offers the users a wide variety of options in choosing animals for exhibits. The interface is simple to learn and easy to use. All of these things make this a fun game at first, but the gameplay becomes very strange and tedious as the simulation progresses. Some exhibit problems, such as trampled terrain, must be fixed manually, and the interface does not necessarily make this easy to do. At a certain point in all simulations, most of the zoo visitors complain about being hungry no matter how many food stands are built. A limitless number of compost buildings can be built for profit. Zookeeper characters have problems keeping some exhibits clean no matter how hard they work. Ultimately, these problems become frustrating. I eventually uninstalled it from my computer. I would strongly recommend not buying this game.
